Canada up 2-0 in the gold medal game!!!

USA took bronze today in a high scoring affair.

If you haven't been watching the tournament remember this name,,, Conner Bedard. Just wow!

This is the worst Nook team I’ve seen ever I think. They got seriously lucky after the refs blew that first goalie interference call last night. 
 

Bedard is awesome for sure. Roy is excellent as well.

Take them 2 out of the equation and Canada would have been out. Josh Roy is very talented.

The fact that a 17 yr old is garnering all the attention is telling.

Double Fuck 2-2

How many minutes left

Overtime is 3 on 3

I know this will go over like a a fart in church, but I'm gonna just say it since she's a hometown kid and makes all of us proud as hell .. Taylor Heise.  Chick hockey - I know - but that girl is a S-T-U-D.  

 

Congrats to the Canucks on their IIHF gold (and the US for their bridesmaid win in the Bronze shootout).

that wright goal was pretty dam impressive.

Just great hockey. All of the semi and quarter final games were action packed.

Too bad the refs had to make themselves the feature

I thought the refs did a fine job.

Canada took some stupid penalties.

It was what it was. 

Feet in the crease, his but in the goalie's face and the puck outside of the blue paint. All added up to what we got. 

Did any of it effect the goal? probably not but the rules are the rules. 

It did change the tempo of the game negatively for team USA. They never completely recovered and the home crowd kept the momentum away.

I thought so too. They missed some calls but that happens at any level. And they weren’t afraid to go to check video.

Canada had more penalty minutes than any other team.

The waived off goal the US scored was ridiculous by any measure of the rule. It was a goal and I can’t see any justification for disallowing it.

He was in the crease, they reviewed it, it was the right call.

The rule states nothing about being in the crease. 

Goals should be disallowed only if: an attacking Player, either by their positioning or by a “relevant contact”, impairs the Goalkeeper’s ability to move freely within their Goal Crease or defend their goal; or an attacking Player initiates intentional or deliberate contact with a Goalkeeper, inside or outside of their Goal Crease.

A. The puck was in the crease and the attacking player has a right to attempt to score there.

B. The contact with the goalie however minor it was happened because the attacking player was pushed into the goalie causing then incidental contact.

C. The goal was scored well after the minor contact and the goalies ability to make the save was in no way hampered by the prior minor contact which was a direct result of the attacking player having been pushed into the goalie by the defender. 

It was a goal 100% by any measure of the rule no matter how strictly it was interpreted.
